5/18 Pirates (Dumatrait) @ Cubs (Marquis) 1:20PM WGNTV

[UMFan83]

Probably time to give lee and ramirez a day or two off

 

I say give Lee one tomorrow and Ramirez Wednesday. Then they both have the team offday Thursday.

If I'm not mistaken, I think Bob or Len said Lee would get Wednesday off so that he could have 2 full days off before next weekend's series.

 

Fair enough. Then Ramirez tomorrow off, with Lee off Wednesday.

Carlos isn't looking as sharp.

[CubsGM]

Carlos isn't looking as sharp.

Over-use

[UMFan83]

Carlos isn't looking as sharp.

 

I think its the Pirates approach against him.

[weis21]

Pirates are down 1-0 every at-bat

They would have to be "up" 1-0.

[UMFan83]

Carlos isn't looking as sharp.

Over-use

 

He's only pitched in 2 games this week (3 IP)

[Fred Hornkohl]

LaRoche struck out swinging

[CubsGM]

One more Carlos

[Vanilla Ice]

Howry gets behind everyone!

 

He's a perfect compliment to Jim Edmonds

[splintersag]

Marmol strikes out the side!

[BCVM22]

Marmol wanted him some revenge after yesterday. Yes sah.

[CubsGM]

KKK!

[Soul]

Marmol came back strong, got through it.

[E.J.]

Even on a bad day Marmol K's the side. You should probably add him to the list of people who need a day off.

Again, Marmol should be a starter.

The Edmond's is gay jokes are getting up there with the Prior towel jokes in hilarity.

[witty alias]

WGN radar had Marmol's last two fastballs at 89 and 87.

[TruffleShuffle]

ok now that the flyers are being blown out by the pens, the cubs really need to win this one, so that the mulleted fans of pittsburgh do not have two things to celebrate today

[Fred Hornkohl]

CUBS are 25-3 when they outhit the opponents.... 0-11 when they get outhit.... and 1-3 when the hits are even

 

 

Go CUBS !!
